Overview

The Media Intern is a temporary, learning-focused role designed to provide educational and hands-on exposure to

media planning, buying, analytics, and agency operations across Latin American markets. This role prioritizes training,

skill development, and professional growth while contributing to non-critical, supervised support tasks.

The internship does not replace a full-time position and is intended to complement academic learning through

practical experience. The Media Intern works under close supervision from the Media Supervisor and other media

team members, supporting research, reporting, coordination, and internal processes while developing a foundational

understanding of media fundamentals, agency operations, and client business needs.
